Addiction Rehab Centers

(“ARC”) story is based on discontentment with the failure of the addiction treatment industry.  When 95% of individuals relapse or fail within one year of completing residential treatment and young individuals are overdosing at alarming rates, the team at ARC said “there has to be a better way”. 
We developed a model and philosophy engulfed with love, compassion and community.  These three components are the cornerstone of allowing an individual the opportunity to address core underlying issues that prevent them from being able to maintain long-term sobriety and wellness.  Our program is a journey of addressing underlying core issues rather than a “crash course” on the 12 steps. 
 
Family and community are at the forefront of every facet of ARC’s program.  Our primary goal is to demonstrate genuine authentic love and compassion for every patient until they are able to provide these qualities for themselves.  By providing a model for loving secure attachments and addressing painful core issues such as co-dependency, shame, abandonment and abuse, the patient has the opportunity to re-define learned dysfunctional patterns and definitions and thus begin to develop self-love.
